This exhibition presents an accumulation of memories, customs, and traditional Japanese fabric processes that tells a story of family, tradition, and one’s self. Kazumi Tanaka is known for creating detailed and finely-crafted objects using a variety of materials such as wood, hair, metal, and Japanese fabrics. Recently, the artist produced a series of miniature Tansu (traditional Japanese storage cabinets) inspired by her memories of her childhood in Japan.

Anthony Campuzano: Slow Movies and Mark Mahosky: Paper View
Opening Reception: Thursday, October 2 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Exhibiton: September 26th - November 15th, 2014
Two exhibitions opening this fall at Fleisher/Ollman explore the printed word from different vantage points. In Paper View, Mark Mahosky paints over newspaper pages, creating abstract compositions that evoke the evolution of abstraction in the early 20th century. For Slow Movies, Anthony Campuzano appropriates texts and images from popular culture, transposing them into handmade advertisements that proclaim his love of particular subjects, in this case, Hollywood film. Reception: Thursday, October 2, 6-8pm Exhibition dates: September 26 – November 15, 2014.
